@AimeeMaroux @antiquidons @histodons @mythology The myth of leads to what may be the raunchiest homoerotic passage of in the Phaedrus:

>"[255c] then the fountain of that stream which Zeus, when he was in love with Ganymede, called “desire” flows copiously upon the lover; and some of it flows into him, and some, when he is filled, overflows outside;"

Although it's mostly how *Eros *as desire helps elevate the soul to the Gods, I think we can read the cruder sex joke into it!
